FAQs

A: Hexane is a chemical industrial solvent often used to extract oils. We do not use any oils that are extracted using harsh chemicals. Our Healthy Times Organic Toddler Formula is hexane free.

Q: Why doesn’t Healthy Times use palm oil?

A: The production of palm oil has been linked to deforestation and habitat degradation, so we have chosen not to use palm oil at this time. Our Healthy Times Organic Toddler Formula contains no palm oil.

Q: What is DHA, and where is it sourced from?

A: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is a polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acid that helps support healthy brain and eye development in children. The DHA oil used in our Healthy Times Organic Toddler Formula is sourced from sustainably grown marine algae using a water extraction process.

Q: What is a prebiotic, and where is it sourced from?

A: Prebiotics are non-digestible plant fibers that can stimulate the growth and establishment of healthy bacteria in the digestive system. Prebiotics help to promote a healthy microbial balance to support digestive and immune systems. They may also play a role in healthy skin and aid in producing softer, easier-to-pass stools. The prebiotic used in our Healthy Times Organic Toddler Formula is inulin, which is fiber sourced from organic agave plants.

Q: What age or stage is recommended for Healthy Times Organic Toddler Formula?

A: Our Healthy Times Organic Toddler Formula is developed for children 12 months and older who are transitioning from liquid to solid foods.

A: Organic heavy cream provides a wholesome source of naturally occurring protein, fats and a delicious creamy taste. Children under the age of 2 need fatty acids for brain development. The organic cream supplies fatty acids, which can aid in children’s brain development.

A: Our Healthy Times Organic Toddler Formula is completely safe to use in addition to breast milk. We suggest asking your pediatrician or lactation consultant for advice on the right quantities and mix for your baby.

Q: Are the ingredients in Healthy Times Organic Toddler Formula sourced from within the United States?

A: All but two of the ingredients in our Healthy Times Organic Toddler Formula are sourced from within the United States. We use a special source of iron that is microencapsulated to be easily absorbed and maintain its efficacy through the manufacturing process. This source is currently only available from Spain. Our organic tapioca syrup (extracted from cassava root) requires a tropical climate to grow, so it comes from regions such as Thailand and Vietnam. These special ingredients, like all ingredients used in our products, have undergone our rigorous ingredient review and approval process to meet our highest standards.
